What is the normal size of a man's testicles?

The testicles are the most important part of the male body, and the testicles also have the function of producing sperm. If the testicles are damaged, it will seriously affect the body's normal reproductive function and easily lead to some testicular diseases. The size of the testicles is also very important to the body. Generally speaking, the normal testicle size of adults is 15ml, which is a normal size.

Normal size of male testicles

What is the normal size of the testicle? When measuring the volume of the testicle, you should use your thumb and middle finger to squeeze the testicle under the scrotal skin to clearly expose the volume outline of the testicle, and then compare and measure after excluding the epididymis. When measuring the volume of the testicle, you can use a caliper to measure the longitudinal axis, transverse axis and thickness of the testicle, and then calculate the volume of the testicle. If the testicle volume of an adult is less than 10 ml, it is a small testicle, and if it is greater than 25 ml, it is a large testicle. Both are abnormal.

The fertility of men with normal testicles can be maintained for a long time. Some people believe that the fertility will gradually weaken after the age of 55. Historically, Picasso and Chaplin are typical examples of elderly men who gave birth to children. Generally speaking, the testicles of men in their 50s are still very elastic and the testicle volume has not shrunk. After the age of 60, the testicles become soft and the volume decreases, and then gradually increase.

2What is the normal size of testicles for adult men?

In normal men, the size of the testicles on both sides is not exactly the same. According to statistics, the right testicle is slightly larger than the left testicle. The average length, width and thickness of the testicle is 3.38cm X 2.37cm X 1.78cm for the right side and 3.30cm X 2.27cm X 1.71cm for the left side. Even in the same age group, the size of the testicles varies greatly. However, in adult men, if the volume of the testicles is more than 15ml, their function is normal.

The testicle measurement method is relatively simple, especially the measurement quantum comparison method is easier to do. The specific method is: the testicle volume measurement quantum is in the shape of different volumes, the testosterone oval hard object, number 1-25. When measuring, pull up the testicle to be measured, tighten the scrotal skin, compare the measurement quantum with the testicle one by one, and the volume of the measurement quantum closest to the testicle size is the testicle volume. Knowing the normal size of your testicles is conducive to timely detection of pathological changes. The testicles of normal people are not of the same size on both sides, but the difference is generally not too large. If the size of the testicles on both sides was basically similar in the past, and one side of the testicle suddenly becomes significantly larger in the near future, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. If one side of the testicle is enlarged and accompanied by fever and local pain, it may be epididymitis or orchitis. If the testicle is enlarged without any symptoms, the possibility of testicular tumor should be considered and it should be checked in time without carelessness.

What diseases can men have in their testicles?

1. Orchitis: It is mostly caused by direct spread of epididymitis to the testicles and is caused by bacteria. Acute orchitis in children is usually caused by the mumps virus.

2. Epididymitis: Epididymitis is mostly caused by bacterial infection of the urinary tract that has not healed, causing the bacteria to enter the epididymis through the lumen of the vas deferens. It often occurs with posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. The site can be unilateral or bilateral, and the onset time can be acute or slow.

3. Varicose vein: Varicose vein morbidity rate accounts for 10% of the male population aged 30-40 years. 90% of it occurs on the left side, due to blood congestion in the spermatic vein, which causes the venous plexus to dilate, bend and lengthen. Varicose vein varicocele can also be caused by kidney disease.

4 How to take care of your testicles in daily life

1. Testosterone levels peak during the postpartum period and drop to the lowest level before puberty.

2. During puberty, testosterone levels rise. The age at which testosterone levels rise in the blood is 12 to 17 years old, which also indicates that the male's sexual function has basically matured, with the ability to produce sperm and the awakening of sexual desire.

3. Testosterone levels reach their peak at the age of 20 to 30, and also show rhythmic fluctuations, that is, there are periodic changes throughout the year and rhythmic changes every day. The testosterone level of adult males is highest in autumn and lowest in spring. The daily periodic rhythmic changes are highest in the early morning and lowest in the evening.

4. After the age of 40, testosterone levels begin to slowly decline, which is related to the daily wear and tear of the human body and excessive stress in life. When male hormones drop to a certain level, symptoms such as irritability, depression, fatigue, and decreased libido will appear, which means that male menopause has begun. The testicles are an important and often neglected organ in the male reproductive system, so men should pay attention to testicular care.
